Hey Harriet,
June 14th, 2010 at 5:21 pmIi think Exit 126 should be in Chelsfield at the very end of a lane called Well Hill Lane tucked away in the woods where no one will find it!
Hope you like it

Dear Eleanor,
June 21st, 2010 at 6:01 pmThat is an excellent Exit suggestion. Thank you very much!
"Steff" Says:
hey.. I luv all da covers 4 da doors i think they r amazin! They must hav taken upp so much time hard work & effort x
June 21st, 2010 at 6:49 pm"harriet43" Says:
Hi Steff,
June 21st, 2010 at 7:15 pmI agree – they must have taken the students ages!
"Imogen" Says:
wow those door covers must have taken ages
i think they should be an exit 128 down under the bridge or 180 in the same place
love Imogen
June 22nd, 2010 at 8:16 pm"harriet43" Says:
Thanks, Imogen.
June 22nd, 2010 at 9:06 pm"Olivia (Livvi)" Says:
Hi i think exit 6834.2 should be in the corner of mnm world in new york times square
July 16th, 2010 at 9:22 pm"Ellora.kowalczyk" Says:
I think under the queen’s chair there should be exit 1,234,567,890 – it would be funny if the Queen slipped backwards and fell down there!!!
July 18th, 2010 at 1:38 pm"harriet43" Says:
Hi Livvi,
July 18th, 2010 at 3:49 pmI love it!
"harriet43" Says:
Hi Ellora,
July 18th, 2010 at 3:51 pmThis one is brilliant! I will have to write another “Exit” book where this actually happens!
"Tyler Cattermole" Says:
Hi
I think exit 479 (The ages of me, my little brother and little sister)should be in or by an old well somewhere deep in the forest, if that’s not too obvious. Or somewhere in a big overgrown field!
Love Tyty xx
July 27th, 2010 at 3:32 pm"harriet43" Says:
Hi Tyler,
July 27th, 2010 at 9:15 pmThat sounds great – though we’d better not make it too close to the well, as the spirits of my Underworld hate water.
"Sydnee Marsh" Says:
Hi Harriet
September 18th, 2010 at 4:47 pmI saw you at the Ludlow Library on the 18th of September i really enjoyed your talk.
My exit would be
In the one horned Indian Rhino’s palace at West Midlands Safari park
It would be exit No 24022000
Love Sydnee Marsh xx
"harriet43" Says:

"Christina Goodwin" Says:

December 17th, 2010 at 2:08 pmthe book is called the speeding car.
"Christina Goodwin" Says:
exit number 1022 should be in the bottom of my school playground under Neath a tree so when i get sad or scared i can go and see my relatives and get some advice and go to a cafe and have a nice warm hot coco
December 17th, 2010 at 2:12 pm"harriet43" Says:
Hi again Christina,
December 17th, 2010 at 4:07 pmI like the Exit suggestion! What help do you need with your novel?
"Martha" Says:
I luv the website, it’s so cool, based on the background of Exit 43!
January 27th, 2011 at 8:55 pm"harriet43" Says:
Thanks, Martha! Might have to get the background a bit more Gravenhungerish at some point. Not sure. Quite like it as it is really!
January 27th, 2011 at 10:22 pm"Hannah B." Says:
Hi Harriet,
Thank you so much for picking me as a runner-up. I am so grateful! Please can you let me know when the book is out via email.
Hannah xx
January 31st, 2011 at 6:16 pm"harriet43" Says:
Hi Hannah,
January 31st, 2011 at 8:52 pmCongratulations on being chosen as one of the three runners-up. Your name (and the school’s name) will appear in the endpapers of the fourth edition of The Boy Who Fell Down Exit 43. This will probably be printed in about six months time (we have to wait for all the third edition copies to go first) – I’ll let you know exactly when. The endpapers are the bit at the front and back of the book before and after the story begins and ends. It will be down to my publisher exactly where it will be. WELL DONE AGAIN!

Hi I absolutely loved the book it was amazing. i also judged it in the north east book awards last year. i was just wondering if you knew if your publishers need any one to write reviews for books as i love to read something new!
February 9th, 2011 at 7:47 pm"harriet43" Says:
Hi Lucy,
February 9th, 2011 at 8:45 pmTry reading my new book, GRAVENHUNGER, now available from Waterstone’s, and let me know how you get on.
"lucy22" Says:
will do hopefully it is as good as exit 43
February 9th, 2011 at 10:38 pm"lucy22" Says:
Just read the blurb on the waterstones site and it sounds very good
February 9th, 2011 at 10:40 pm"Molly" Says:
Hi Harriet,
February 10th, 2011 at 9:52 pmI think Exit -68 should be in your back garden next to your writing shed so that you and your family can enter it whenever you like.
"harriet43" Says:
Hi Molly,
February 10th, 2011 at 10:09 pmFabulous – I love this one! I will be careful when I go up there tomorrow!

"lucy22" Says:
REALLY wow
February 13th, 2011 at 12:19 am"lucy22" Says:
I finished GRAVENHUNGER last night it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. I did not think it would end that way!!!
February 14th, 2011 at 8:32 am"harriet43" Says:
Hi Lucy,
February 14th, 2011 at 10:20 amI’m all for a surprise ending!!
"lucy22" Says:
I was just wondering. You know how some authors have revews in the front of their books I would really like to do one if you want me to do for GRAVENHUNGER?
February 14th, 2011 at 5:56 pm"harriet43" Says:
Hi Lucy,
February 15th, 2011 at 9:19 amWhat a great idea! Best thing to do is for you to contact my publisher directly (much better coming from you than from me!) Their email is on the Contact Details page of this website. Let me know if you have problems getting hold of them.

"Hannah B." Says:

February 22nd, 2011 at 8:25 pm"harriet43" Says:
Hi Hannah,
February 23rd, 2011 at 7:14 pmIt should be out in about six months. You’ll have to wait a bit longer!
"Isabella A" Says:
Hi Harriet,

"harriet43" Says:
Hi Isabella,
March 13th, 2011 at 2:52 pmThat’s great to hear! Thank you!
"Maia" Says:
Hi Harriet,
March 17th, 2011 at 8:28 pmi have just read gravenhunger,which you signed at Mile oak school in sussex,and i must say i loved your singing anyway i would like to ask you firstly how old do you have to be to publish and secondly what inspired you to write graven hunger?thank you for your time
maia xx
"harriet43" Says:
Hi Maia,
March 18th, 2011 at 11:53 amThere’s no particular age you have to be to get published. I got the idea for Gravenhunger from a topic I studied at Oxford. If you google “Sutton Hoo”, you’ll see just what I mean! Did you enjoy reading the book?
"chris" Says:
hi Harriet I can’t wait till your new book comes out sounds great x
March 29th, 2011 at 4:22 pm"Toni" Says:

"harriet43" Says:
Hi Chris,
March 30th, 2011 at 9:12 amHope you enjoy it! Keep in touch!
"harriet43" Says:
Hi Toni,
March 30th, 2011 at 9:14 amOf course you’re not bothering me too much! Just concentrate on getting the words down and finishing the book – let me know when it’s all done.
"chris" Says:
Where will the new book be sold in Thornaby
March 30th, 2011 at 3:36 pm"harriet43" Says:
Hi Chris,
March 30th, 2011 at 4:53 pmProbably best to order it from Amazon or Waterstone’s. Just type in GRAVENHUNGER and either Amazon or Waterstone’s.
"Chelsea Hill" Says:
Hi again i just thought of a new exit number you could use for a new book i hope it is appropriate (1500) thanks love Chelsea Hill xx
April 1st, 2011 at 7:30 pm"harriet43" Says:
Thanks, Chelsea,
April 1st, 2011 at 7:58 pmCan you give me an exact location for this Exit?
"molly" Says:

April 2nd, 2011 at 2:42 pmThat’s a great reason for an Exit. Thanks for sending me your story. I think it’s a really great beginning. Just keep on going with it.

April 3rd, 2011 at 10:06 pmThanks for the new Exit number!
"Imogen D." Says:
Hi Harriet,
May 21st, 2011 at 7:57 amI think the exit should be the number 543210 and be situated in a head teachers office right underneath the her chair so an unsuspecting head teacher falls down. Preferably in BHS, GDST;your old school.
THANKS
"harriet43" Says:
Hi Imogen,
May 21st, 2011 at 11:25 amHope the head teacher isn’t reading this then…
"Becky T" Says:
Hi Harriet
I think exit 35845654 should be in London just outside the west stand of Twickenham Stadium.
Hope you like this exit number
Thanks
Becky Taylor
May 27th, 2011 at 8:51 am"harriet43" Says:
Hi Becky,
May 27th, 2011 at 7:53 pmI LOVE your suggestion – thank you!
"Katie Grace" Says:
H Harriet i think exit 22964 should be in the very corner of our school hall (Broke Hall)
Bye
May 28th, 2011 at 2:14 pm"harriet43" Says:
Hi Katie,
May 28th, 2011 at 3:48 pmThanks! That’s a great Exit suggestion!
"afra hinkson" Says:
Hi Harriet
July 4th, 2011 at 4:43 pmi think a exit should be called exit 103
and the location could be in Lydon green Jr school so a nuclear bomb could shoot up towards the school and its from the underworld, but the school doesn’t blow up instead it bursts out junk for the underworld.
yours faithfully
afraxXXx
"Zubair" Says:
Hi Harriot,
I think exit 786 should be positioned in the cellar of Yardley Baptist Church behind the hidden door. No one has ever been there accept for me . I thought it was just a box or something so leaned against it and then I was inside a toilet. I told the manager but all he said was its no use at all no one will ever go there.
July 4th, 2011 at 5:33 pmZubair
"harriet43" Says:
Hi Afra,
July 4th, 2011 at 6:13 pmThat is VERY imaginative – thanks!!!
"harriet43" Says:

Hi Chloe,
October 14th, 2011 at 8:50 pmThat’s a fabulous Exit suggestion. I totally love it! Best tips for your story: start off with a really gripping scene and make sure you know your characters inside out before you start to write.

"Joe" Says:
Hey Harriet, I’ve got an idea for a book and would like your opinion: The government have been burning suspicious files that include vital information about creatures such as vampires, werewolves, aliens etc. The main character must find out who or what is in these files and be found and captured. Thank you for your time. Please right back. Joe
November 29th, 2011 at 9:29 pm"harriet43" Says:
Hi Joe,
November 30th, 2011 at 10:13 amI think that sounds like a GREAT IDEA. Please keep me posted – and good luck!

"Immi Duke" Says:
Hi, I’ve already sent one but I’ve had another idea. I think it should be underneath a school childs chair so they can escape in class and have adventures with dead when they should be in Maths class. Thanks! By the way, did you go to Bromley High School as a child.
February 4th, 2012 at 3:36 pm"Ellora" Says:

Hi Ellora,
February 4th, 2012 at 6:12 pmIt’s always funny looking back like that! I still have an exercise book with my English essays in from when I was 11. They are hysterical! Glad you still enjoy reading the books.
